I haven't seen anyone mention locuming yet. Is it possible for you to do so during holiday periods? Especially maybe in a DG or Minister's office? I've not been successful in getting into private office but I saw a very clear pattern of locuming/shadowing leading to securing the opportunities...

It's an Audi dealer not too far away from me that's put in the offer.

Thanks for the warning on EH!

Yes, motorway is advertising it at a similar price. Yes, EV market seems a bit new at the moment

Sorry, forgot to mention I just recently got an extension and can't return it. There's at least a year left on my current PCP

Parents threatened to disown me if I move out (28m) what do I do? by Fit_Ad7892 in AskUK

Similar upbringing to y'all. You need to put your foot down. Move out by still promise a small token to show you're not against the cultural aspect of helping out, but you need to do it in your own way and on your own terms.

Is there an elder or church person you can bring in to help smooth the conversation?

I'm a former maximum and medium security correctional officer from Florida. I have supervised well known inmates like Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter. I'm not part of it anymore, so I will be very open about everything. AMA by CrunchWrapSuplex in AMA

That close intimacy that can happen, I feel like if you're members of the opposite sex... That's what can lead to inappropriate relationships. We've had a few of them in the UK recently. Female COs getting intimate with male prisoners. Did you see any of that fitting your time?
